Failure to follow the instructions regarding
sanitizing can compromise the hygienic safety
of the water dispensed.

• When using the appliance for the first time and
every time the filter is changed, discard the first
9-14 litres of water, equivalent to 6-7 minutes of
dispensing (not necessarily consecutive, but
before initial consumption) and discard the ice
produced in the first 24 hours.

• If the water dispenser has not been used for
more than 4/5 days, it is advisable to clean the
circuit and run off the first litre of water.

• Reposition the removable water dispenser (if
present), ensuring your hands are hygienically
clean.

• Clean the ice bucket or drawer regularly but
using only drinking water.

• The filter must be changed when indicated on
the control panel or when the ice/water
dispenser has not been used for more than 30
days.

• With each filter replacement, sanitise the ice
and/or water distribution system using a food
grade disinfectant (with sodium hypochlorite),
which does not alter the characteristics of the
materials, or use the "Sanitising Kit" available
from the After-Sales Service. Rinse with at least
2 litres of water before use.

• Only original spare parts supplied by the
manufacturer should be used when replacing
components in the ice and water dispenser.
